Drive arrangement for rolling mill

Abstract

In the case of a drive arrangement for a rolling mill, comprising at least one drive motor (M), a main gear mechanism (HG), a pinion gear mechanism (KWG), a rolling stand (G) with working rolls (AW), and the spindles, couplings and the like which connect these components, the main gear mechanism (HG) is a single-stage one and the drive axis (AN) is spaced apart from the output axis (AB) by an upwardly directed, vertical spacing (vA).

1. A drive arrangement for a rolling mill (W), which consists of at least one drive motor (M), a main gearbox (HG), a pinion gear unit (KWG), a mill stand (G) with work rolls (AW), and the couplings and spindles that connect these components, where, in the main gearbox (HG) an axis of rotation of a drive shaft (AN) and an axis of rotation of a driven shaft (AB) are separated by a horizontal distance (hA), wherein the main gearbox (HG) is designed as a single-stage gearbox, and the drive shaft (AN) is constructed with an upwardly directed vertical distance (vA) from the driven shaft (AB), and the motor (M) is designed connected with a subframe and mounted on a foundation (F). 
     
     
       2. A drive arrangement in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the main gearbox has a multistage design (two-stage, three-stage, four-stage). 
     
     
       3. A drive arrangement in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the main gearbox (HG) is designed with helical gear wheels. 
     
     
       4. A drive arrangement in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the main gearbox (HG) is designed with straight-toothed gear wheels.
